Mike Hauschild and Darnell Sweeney, two individuals who briefly had a cup of coffee with the major league team this year, have elected free agency, according to the official MiLB transactions page.
Hauschild, 28, is likely best remembered for being abruptly signed to a minor-league contract and then pitching seven solid innings the same night. A former member of the Houston Astros, Hauschild pitched a gem in Seattle against the Mariners in that first appearance.
After that impressive debut, he pitched only one more game, going 2.1 innings while allowing four runs against the Red Sox on August 8th in Toronto.
